Vandersteen Treo CT

I will see him this eve at Stereo Unlimited- he ran his model 7 for years with the vaunted MXR before creating his own amp.
i expect at least a chuckle when I mention even the lowly ( my words ) VLR demand MXR grade power !

i plan to duck......

Hey guys. I ordered the Vandy Treo CTs in late February and they arrived this week. I now have the Zebra wood matched with the charcoal grey covers. Just beginning the process of the break-in period, but can already hear the sound improving and the detail exhibiting itself. Oh, and I went with the Audioquest Rocket 88 DBS speaker wire for added listening quality

Johnny Rutan from Audio Connection was great to work with. I typically ask a lot of questions and he just took it all in stride. I'll look to up-load photos in virtual systems section.

Updates forthcoming during the break-in period. Thanks for all of your guidance throughout this process.

Cheers, Steve

@stevenyc,
Johnny is the best dealer I have ever known. Hands Down!

Greetings from a Treo CT owner. Here is the update I promised. Well, its been a good 3 1/2 months of break-in on the Treos and I could not be happier. The detail is phenomenal, especially when listening to hi-rez Tidal tracks. Although, I still listen to CDs and intend to add analog at soe point.

One of the first things I noticed even out of the box was that I heard details that were not evident in my prior speakers (Vienna Acoustics Mozarts) and the sound-stage in the listening position appears to be floating in the center of the room. I've heard it said that the Treos may need subs to enhance the bass slam. Well for me that is not the case. What I find happening is that the quality of the recording quality and bass content determines what I/we hear. It differs from recording to recording. 

Based on my components, I may not have the absolute perfect power to drive these, but I'm still quite pleased with the result.

More to come. Thanks for all of the guidance and happy listening.

Cheers,

Steve

@stevenyc  In your room, where would you say the front and back planes of the soundstage lie w.r.t. the plane of the drivers in the speakers.
